Solo Swordmaster

#937. Three options

[Of course I’m not sure. It’s just an inference based on the process of the Fairy King’s death and the results of observing the constellations so far.] The

Fairy Queen said calmly.

This video itself is not a restoration of the actual history, but a new creation based on a record full of holes.

whether this is true or not.

She didn’t know the answer either.

In the first place, the tree of Sephiroth was an unknown concept that even the fairies were studying, and the fact that the Constellations used it was just an assumption.

But why did the last survivors of the fairies who escaped the perishing Alfheim perish?

Looking at the process, it was the most influential theory.

Especially when you think of the end of the fairies who died together instead of accepting the starlight until the last one.

“No, you know when the sun rises when you see the moon set.”

So it must have been.

Li Qingyu agreed to the Fairy Queen’s reasoning without the slightest hesitation.

“Even if it’s not accurate, there won’t be much difference in that a constellation is a being that will eventually destroy this world.”

Limon also agreed with her.

Considering the words of the divine lord, who considered the sacrifice of mankind essential while seeking salvation, the Fairy Queen’s theory was quite reasonable.

And if that’s what you say.

After all, either hardliners or moderates.

The conclusion of accepting the Constellations would have been the same.

There is only a difference between dying faster and more painfully, or dying slowly and painlessly.

“Hmm, in short, you’re saying that the Constellations are usurers who pretend to do favors, incur debts, and then take away all of their property?”

“Even usurers don’t do business with borrowers’ money. This is a scam.”

“…I regret not being able to stop the advance of the players earlier.”

While Yekathrice and Ainsha nodded, Rose put on a bitter expression.

When the Iron Age opened.

If the Seven Dragons had actively oppressed players…

or, at least, if they hadn’t skyrocketed the prices of dungeon by-products in order to maintain the World Peace Plan.

At least, the players wouldn’t have become the main characters of society as quickly as they are now, and the influence of the constellations would have been less than now.

Even if they didn’t know it, they couldn’t help but feel complicated feelings for them, who had helped the invasion of the Constellation with their own hands.

“It is useless to regret it. After all, it was an unstoppable flow of players.”

“Now is not the time to discuss the mistakes of the past. The important thing is to respond in the future.”

“…That’s right.”

On the other hand, there were those who accepted the situation calmly.

It has been widely known since the beginning of the Iron Age that dungeons are an infinite repository of power and wealth.

With or without the support of the Seven Dragons.

Players will continue to exist.

Even if the dungeon was sealed off, there would have been great confusion as the nation resisted.

The opposition would have only increased the strength of the liberation brigade.

Even more so when you think of the situation of the Seven Dragons Society, which was considered a Demonic Cult and was suppressed until the Iron Age was opened in the first place.

So, you should do meaningless reflection later and find a solution first.

When Rose bitterly agrees with Hasneti and Maia’s clearly stated opinions.

Limon asked quietly.

“Do you know when the monsters will appear again?”

[Sorry, but I don’t know that far either. Even in Alfheim, it took decades for monsters to appear and perish.]

Saying that there is too little information to accurately predict.

After shaking my head slightly.

The Fairy Queen added a word.

[But according to my prediction, the invasion of the Constellations will proceed faster and more violently than in Alfheim.]

“…It’s because of the Seven Arcs.”

[Yes, because their power is incomplete now.]

The Holy Lord brought the Seven Arks of the parallel world and opened the seal on the star, but it was fake in the first place.

The real Seven Arcs are four.

Even so, the steel magic dragon sword was only half.

Dark Violin Plato’s Sculptor Steel Magic Sword And the seven princesses still had the power of the stars.

The power that the constellations have gathered while saving countless worlds over hundreds of millions of years… no, perhaps hundreds of billions of years.

The Constellations couldn’t give up on that.

He would try to retrieve the remaining Seven Arcs by any means necessary.

[Fortunately, there are still nine worlds left, so the constellations can’t directly intervene, but…]

Jik.

The moment the Fairy Queen looked away.

The hologram changes again, and what appears is the blue star Earth floating in the middle of the universe.

To be precise, it was a thin curtain wrapped around it.

Nine World.

From the golden age to the iron age.

The great castle barrier that the fairy queen has made with the spirits and finally completed with the help of the seven dragons.

Although seven of the nine layers of barriers were destroyed in the process of sealing the Constellation’s power, even the fragments did not disappear and seven arcs were created.

It is truly a miracle.

It was the last legacy of the extinct species of the constellation and the last barrier to protect humanity.

but this moment.

The appearance of Nine World was not perfect.

Of course, one of the two layers of barriers that were safe even after sealing the power of the Constellations disappeared.

Even the only remaining barrier was showing faint cracks everywhere.

―Like a glass vessel about to break.

[Unfortunately, Nine Worlds won’t last long.]

“Seven Arcs’s seal is broken?”

[The four Constellations have regained some of their power, and Seven Arcs was also part of the Nine Worlds after all.]

“…I guess, but I’ll check it. I want to know what will happen if Nine World collapses.”

[Unlike before, the constellations will be able to directly intervene in the world.]

Create a dungeon.

move the monster

Such as giving power to the player.

Constellations have exerted their influence on the world in all sorts of ways so far.

But it’s indirect.

Thanks to the barriers of the Nine Worlds, until now, they have not been able to directly intervene in the present world unless they use expedients, and they have not been able to fully use their powers.

However, if Nine World is broken,

the constraints of the constellations will disappear.

Just as it is easier and faster to carry a lot of goods when crossing the sea by boat than returning by land.

They too would be able to intervene directly in the world and wield full power.

That is why the Fairy Queen affirmed.

[Once the Constellations appear, there will be no way to prevent the destruction of this world.]

“Our defeat is predetermined?”

[It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. The problem is that mankind will eventually perish from the moment we start fighting the Constellations in this world.]

“…”

That calm point.

Limon couldn’t deny it.

Even if the majority of the power is still sealed in the Seven Arcs, the Constellations are transcendent beings.

Even thinking about the fragments I saw through Descent of the Constellation or Monster Wave, I could tell that they had powers that surpassed even the most absolute.

Even the number of Constellations contracted with players so far has easily exceeded tens of thousands.

What if they show up in person?

Whoever wins the fight.

The world was doomed.

Just as in the past, Central America was completely blown away and became the Geomryong Sea in the aftermath of his fight with the sword emperor and the seven dragons.

“…Are you saying that we are all finished when the seal of the Seven Arcs is finally lifted?”

Everyone fell silent as Catherine muttered as she ran her fingers through her hair.

Anyone can see that this situation is at an all-time high.

Because it seemed that destruction could not be avoided somehow.

[No, fortunately, you still have three options.]

“Are you saying there is a way to avoid destruction?”

[Yes.]

That’s why even Anastasia, who had been silent behind Limon, reacted to the Fairy Queen’s words.

Receiving everyone’s expectations and hopeful gazes, the Fairy Queen calmly continued.

[The first method is negotiation.]

“…You mean to negotiate with the Constellations over the Seven Arks.”

[As I already said, restoring the power sealed in the Constellations is the first priority.]

Everyone’s faces became complicated.

So far, I’ve only found a way to stop the Constellation.

Negotiations were not considered.

Even more so in that even the holy lord, who was said to follow the will of the moderates as an apostle of the stars, eventually caught them in a trap and fought to the death.

However, if there was no chance of winning anyway, there was a need to consider negotiations as the next best option.

One problem.

“I am against it.”

“Negotiation is only possible when there is the power or means to force the other party to a promise.”

“It is foolish to believe that a robber will show mercy just because you give him money.”

From Li Qingyu to Hasnetty Charlotte and more.

Most of the princesses, including the three, reacted negatively.

This was because, apart from emotional issues, everyone was skeptical about whether the Constellations could be trusted as negotiators.

“How else?”

[The second is to follow the precedent of the fairies.]

“…You mean to run away from the constellations.”

[yes. In the end, the fairies perished, but the dragons succeeded in leaving descendants.]

Maybe it’s because they’ve been exploring the mind and inner world, contrary to the technologically developed fairies.

When the Constellation invasion occurred.

The Balaur, who vaguely foresaw the future, entrusted all the possibilities of the race to the eight descendants with the most outstanding talent and hibernate them deep underground.

Unlike Alfheim, it was probably because of this that the Earth did not completely perish at that time.

It refers to an inference based on some information heard after making a pact with the seven dragons.

The Fairy Queen continued.

[The method of hiding underground will not work, but combining the methods of the two races will allow humanity to escape.]

“….”

[The problem is…]

“Does it mean that we have to select those who will board the evacuation ship? ”

[Yes, no matter how much Eldorado it is, it can’t burn all of humanity.]

“Then, how many people can you burn?”

[If we remodel the hull and use hibernation technology to burn them forcibly, would it be up to 1 million people?]

“A million people….”

Rose’s expression became gloomy.

A population of 100,000 is equivalent to that of a large city.

The fact that that number could ride on only one ship was possible because it was Eldorado, the last masterpiece of the fairies.

The problem was that out of billions of people, 1 million was not even 1%.

I wonder if it was a fairy tribe that had a small population in the first place and it was already difficult to find survivors when they escaped.

Eldorado was too small to contain the species of humanity that has continued to thrive since the golden age.

Everything from deciding who to select as refugees to the chaos that would come after evacuating was almost at a loss.

Of course, there was no way.

No, there was a better way.

“If it’s only our clan, it’s possible to evacuate.”

“….”

The six princesses except for Charlotte fell silent at the words that everyone had thought about but could not bear to say.

They are the princesses of the Seven Dragons.

I had a duty to protect my clan.

It was natural for them to evacuate from their clans.

All seven clans are outstanding talents, and they are absolutely loyal to them.

But to put it in reverse, it meant giving up billions of people except for the Seven Dragons.

It was never simple.

Especially in that the beloved lover and the guardian of humanity is making a heavy expression right next to him.

“…The last method?”

[Blocking the constellations.]

“Is that possible?”

[Honestly, I’m not sure either, but there’s just one way that might be possible.]

“What’s that way?”

[That way…]

That was it.

The reason why the princesses were surprised but had expectations again.

The Fairy Queen who knew the Constellation best and declared its inevitable destruction.

Because I thought that the way she said it was possible, even if it was slim, could really save humanity.

But after a while.

The moment I heard that way.

The princesses all jumped up from their seats, and Anastasia also showed signs of agitation.

Even the running repairman, who had been soundly asleep in the noise, wakes up rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Li Qingyu asked quietly.

“…Are you serious?”

[Because you can’t lie in a situation like this.]

“….”

[It’s a matter for the swordsmith to decide which method to choose after all.]

Hearing that, Li Qingyu bit her lip, and the other princesses were also confused. In the midst of revealing your heart.

Limon gently closed his eyes.

Should I negotiate with the Constellations?

Will you save even a small fraction of humanity?

Or should I try a reckless fight?

After a long time in silence alone, after thinking over and over again.

He finally made a decision.

“we are….”
